Elliott to fight Oliveira in Serbia's first UFC event

Welsh welterweight Oban Elliott will return to action against Brazil's Michael Oliveira in Belgrade, Serbia on Saturday, 1 August.

Elliott is on a two-fight losing streak following a submission defeat to Australian Jonathan Micallef in January.

The 28-year-old from Merthyr Tydfil won his first three bouts in the promotion and will be hoping to return to winning ways against Oliveira.

Oliveira is making his full UFC debut after earning a contract on Dana White's Contender Series in October 2025, a feat matched by Elliott in August 2023.

The Brazilian holds an unbeaten professional record of nine wins and no losses, with eight of his wins coming by way of stoppage.

It is the first time the UFC is hosting an event in Serbia with home favourite Uros Medic fighting American Daniel Rodriguez in the main event at the Belgrade Arena.
